Tropical storm, a photo from Guadeloupe, Other

Photographer's Note

A rainy tropical storm passing by along the "canal des Saintes" between Les Saintes (the archipelago in the background) and the still sunny foreground (south-west coastline of Guadeloupe, FWI)...hence the "white" circles in the middle of the sea, due to rainfalls.

Oh, you've taken advantage of the changeable weather conditions to create a gorgeous composition. I love the contrast of the darkness of the sky with the light on the flowers. Well done!

Hi Sebastien

The quick change in weather that you can experience mainly in tropical latitudes, make a good opurtunities of catching great photos with great light.
Your photo is a superb example of this.
Great light, colours, composition and DOF.

Well done

Une belle photo, très plaisante à regarder. Ces trois bandes, très différentes, résument bien la Guadeloupe : la végétation luxuriante, la mer et le ciel bleu.....et les pluies tropicales.
Amicalement

Hi Sebastien,

superbly colorful FG. It is a great contrast to the darker, more subdued colors over the sea. I like the vertical format for landscapes, less popular than the landcape format (LOL, though I shoot primarily in the landscape I never shoot landscapes LOL)

Hi Sebastien,

Good work. Simple composition but nicely executed. Good sharpness, colours and contrast. Wonder how a landscape POV would have lookd though? Do you have one?

Informative note.

Cheers,
Guru

Hello Sebastien. This photo is a dream from colors and impressions. Simply perfectly. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Sebastien,
Your photo is divided in couple of levels, this bottom one so fresh and vivid, contrasting the gray clouds and in between peers the bright sky... amazing colors, good sharpness, excellent.

Gordana

Bonjour, Sébastien. J'aime la façon dont les îles sont prises en sandwich entre un ciel menaçant et un avnat-plan aux splendides couleurs. Le contraste est saisissant et est pour une grande part dans la réussite de la photo. Le format vertical convient très bien.

Bonjour Sébastien,
Un point de vue si inhabituel, c'est pour ça que j'aime bien cette photo. Le large espace donné au nuage renforce l'impression de menace de tempête tandis que les fleurs très colorées et bien nettes de l'avant plan situent bien l'image sous les tropiques. J'aime bien aussi la petite bande coincée entre les deux avec la mer et une île, comme une petite éclaircie sur des cieux plus cléments.
Chouette image,
France

salut Seb*
le cadrage, les couleurs, le traitement, tout est bon.
et l'opposition entre le ciel menacant et le devant ensoleillé est extra

ciao

Hi Seb. Catching the light on these flowers creates a wonderfully bright contrast with the storm clouds in the upper part of the frame. The Leica lens on your little Lumix has amazing DOF at f/5.6. One small point: If you had moved your POV a fraction to the left, you could have kept both the branches of flowers in the frame (but keeping the island in the distance where it is - that's perfect). Cheers . . . David

Hello !
Wow. What I like about your photo is the sky. It has the quality of a watercolor with the gray and whites. I believe this is why you have chosen to display it in a vertical format. Nice sharp crisp colors in the fg in the flowers. Very captivating photo.
tfs,
Karen
